Obstacles In The Classroom

Describe how you have taken advantage of a significant educational opportunity or worked to overcome and educational barrier you have faced.

Chapter 5 & 6 dealt with creating a space in your classroom for students to partake in questions, claims, and evidence. Science Writing Heuristic better known as SWH is used in the classroom to use language to question, to wonder, to investigate. In this type of learning the student controls his or her learning while the teacher creates opportunities for their students to engage in meaningful learning activities.

Mr. Voss offers a relaxed, but also challenging classroom environment on a daily basis. He is very interested in the topics covered in class, but also adds his own humor to the AP curriculum. His class is very fun and engaging, and also prepares for the AP Exam in May. Mr. Voss expects for all of his students to work to their full potential and he genuinely cares about his students and is willing to help out students that are having trouble in the class. Every year he has these inside jokes and puns that he makes which are absolutely hilarious. Everyday I truly looked forward to going to his class, and Mr. Voss got me more interested in learning about US History. I now watch history based YouTube videos just because of the class. Mr. Voss has

This artifact represents my ability to work collaboratively with one of my peers. We created the provided lesson and then taught the lesson at North Schuylkill Elementary school to a class of kindergarteners. This experience requires use to co-teach, co-plan and co-reflect to make sure this experience was as successful as possible. This artifact fits under standard #10: leadership and collaboration, since it demonstrates how I worked collaboratively with a peer to create and administer a lesson. By working together, we were able to ensure that each learner in the classroom would learn the necessary content. This is a representation of my best work since the lesson and activities my partner and I created were very well written and helped guide

I am a person who likes to be challenged, a person with good character and morals. I work hard to reach my goals. Because I am of Mexican descent, Spanish is my first language. I remember that as a child in the third grade, learning to speak English was a very hard obstacle to overcome. I instantly noticed how different I spoke English compared to the rest of the children in my class. This motivated me to practice my English and study as hard as I could in order to overcome that obstacle. I can clearly remember how much I struggled. I keep those memories close to me because I know there are many obstacles in life that we must overcome. As a diligent student, I choose to endure those moments to help me in the future.

Low income students have been and continue to be oppressed individuals in the school systems in the United States, which is often tied to the behavior to the children in the classroom. The oppression of these students is traced to their communities and their social behavior. As stated by Bruce Marlowe, a Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of South Carolina Beaufort: “This bureaucratic culture fosters the pervasive assumption that when students misbehave or achieve poorly, they must be ‘fixed’ because the problem inheres in the students or their families, not in the social ecology of the school, grade or classroom” (Marlowe 64). The social behavior is seen as negative and teacher do not take the time to understand the problems

Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. James 1:19. I think this means everyone should listen closely, not be in a hurry and rush yourself, and not be really snippy with someone fastly. This Bible verse can be taken in a lot of ways. It can be taken in a cautious note, a scary note, and even a serious note. I think that is mostly meaning be quick to obey but don’t get too angry. There are a lot of ways you can use this in a classroom. First, just be quiet in general if you can do it at your house you sure can do it in a classroom! Secondly, just listen to the teachers it’s not that hard all you have to do is pay attention. Even if the class really Hoover’s and you really just don’t like the class in general

Pollution is a large epidemic in society today, even hitting close to home in Pasadena. Pasadena pasted mayor realized there was a problem so he established the Volunteer Pasadena Program in April 2002. Citizen of Pasadena surpass expectations as they donated their valuable time to volunteer to help keep Pasadena clean. Citizens enjoyed coming out to keep the streets and waterways clean because they took pride in the city they lived in. The citizens that comes out to volunteer are people with a diverse background and a wide range of cultural. The city of Pasadena wants the volunteers to gain knowledge and understanding of the problems the city faces and ask he volunteers to help resolve them.

Mistakes are very common and they can happen to anyone. Unfortunately, there is no way that a human being can become mistake-proof. To answer the question, I would have to say it strongly depends on the situation. My reaction to being called out wrong would vary with the the fact that can I support my idea or not.

Meeting the needs of diverse learners has not been a simple task. An incredible amount of time and energy has been spent in creating a culturally responsive classroom. As stated in the literature review, reflection has been a critical component of creating such culture. As a white female and a product of the upper-middle class, I was quickly forced to apply my knowledge of cultural responsive pedagogy when I accepted a position teaching a Title-1 school with over 90% of students representing various minorities in Metro Atlanta. I swiftly realized that my students and I derived from different backgrounds, but I knew I had to make learning relevant and develop personal connections with my students.

I think Response to intervention and instruction is necessary because the sooner we can identify and treat difficulties the better outcome for the students. I agree with Megan Zerega RTI is proactive which is different than what America is used too. The children are identified in the general education classrooms and receive tiered services inside the classroom depending on the child’s needs. I like how Cali mention children with all behavioral and learning disabilities. RTI coincides with the six principles of IDEIA 2014; least restrictive environment, free and appropriate public education, procedural due process, parent and student participation, nondiscriminatory evaluation

RTI is a national program which helps children who have learning and behavior difficulties in the school. Each state evaluates the students’ progress to know what student has those difficulties and how different specialist, teacher and special educators can help the child overcomes his difficulties. The children’s improves are evaluate periodic to know if the children are responding positively to the program. General and special education are working together to help the children with learning and behavior problems to improve their condition.

In today’s modern day society people with disabilities (either mental or physical) struggle with so many different elements in life. Over the course of their lifetime, they could experience things like being a social outcast in school when they are young to when they are older and struggling to get a job. Or, if they do manage to get a job, they have to work twice as hard as others to keep it successfully. Now try to imagine the time period around the 1930’s when they didn’t have the medical or technological advancements that there is today. Steinbeck’s larger point is that it would have been so much harder for those with disabilities to succeed in the workplace because people viewed them as less than human and when they ended up being disposed

My predicted results verse my produced results varied. Some did not match what I had predicted and others did match what I had predicted. With treatment one I predicted there to be Carbon Dioxide released. When examining treatment one Lactose, Lactaid, and yeast. We discovered that there were little amounts being released. However, when the temperature of the water decreased we found that the enzymes in the solution stayed the same from fifteen minutes to twenty-minute mark. For treatment two Melibiose, Lactaid, and yeast. I predicted that there wouldn’t be any Carbon Dioxide released however, I was wrong once again. While, actually testing treatment two we discovered at the five-minute mark there was three ML of Carbon Dioxide released. As the temperature of the water started to decrease the change in reaction of the enzymes started to decrease dramatically. At the twenty-minute mark we were at 1.3 ML. On to treatment three Lactose, Beano, and yeast. I predicted that there would be Carbon Dioxide released. While, actually testing treatment three there was Carbon Dioxide released. However, testing treatment three at

Some issues that would be important to address in this particular case could be the role and responsibilities that the teacher has with the students, colleagues, and principal. Clearly, she has several roles, however, she hasn’t been able to perform some of these as she should had been.
